Time for your regular reminder that
A) the Coaltion’s feelings about climate are irrelevant for the next 3-6 yrs
B) how much you worry about the Coalition is up to you
C) the more you worry about the Coaltion’s irrelevant opinions the less pressure is on the ALP to stop approving new gas & coal

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

The rich are 'squeezing out' ordinary people and this millionaire aims to stop it
Gary Stevenson achieved his childhood dream of becoming rich by his mid-20s. The 39-year-old now spends most of his time campaigning against the wealthy.

Gotta say I really enjoyed* reading ABC management’s memo to staff about the “hunger crisis inside Gaza”. Vaguely reminds me of what HRW said in Dec 2023 about starvation being used as a tool of war.
Seems starving civilians stop being too controversial & spicey for the aunty?

Understand the indignity of air dropping food on Gaza.
The March air drop killed 5 Palestinians. Air drops force Palestinians to scavenge for food like animals. This could all be avoided if Israel ended its barbaric blockade, or if world leaders had the courage to break it.
Instead, more genocide

People with such terminal politics brain that they judge everything not on the issues but on how it benefits their party can’t see condemning a genocide as something people might actually do because they believe genocide is wrong.

He argued the point saying we needed to know *the facts*, suggesting what we have currently from Gaza is not reliable. Every time someone says this they should be reminded that Palestinian journalists get killed, sometimes deliberately, and Israel won’t allow access to International press.
